Tomorrow, Congresswoman Donna Shalala (FL-27) will join elected officials, faith and community leaders, as well as law enforcement officers for a community roundtable discussion on race relations in America and what can be done to undue systemic racism in South Florida.

Yesterday, Representative Shalala joined more than 150 Members of Congress in co-sponsoring the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, a bold, comprehensive approach to hold police accountable, change the culture of law enforcement and build trust between law enforcement and our communities. If signed into law, the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 would ban chokeholds, mandate the use of dashboard cameras, prohibit local law enforcement from racial, religious and discriminatory profiling, and facilitate training on racial, religious, and discriminatory profiling for all law enforcement.
